Very interesting opinion, but most importantly optimistic! ;)
I want to say, as I have said more than once, I am concerned about the L&P's drive towards conditional realism. His view of realism is a very subjective concept! What in his understanding is real and what is not, we will find out when he finishes work on AWAM.

But we clearly have reason to be optimistic!

For example, before the last update, I assumed that out of the three events that were possible at that time with Vicki and her boyfriend, there would be something different, but not a trip to the sauna. I assumed it was still early for Sofia. But we now know how far she has come.

Therefore, I think L&P is quite capable of surprising us, both in a good way and in a bad way!:)
LP is a master playing with plausible things. He is developing the VN and all the events that happened to Sophia in less that a month in San Alejo and we watch all of them as plausible things. That's the success of this game.
Rich, the developer of a great VN ( with only one option in all the VN ) made a great reflexion about that in the f95zone of his 'Family, friends and strangers'. I recomend to read it. https://f95zone.to/threads/family-friends-and-strangers-v0-10-johnandrich.22416/post-6092387

"plausible" is a good choice of word by Rich in that post you linked.

Putting it back into AWAM context, it is not "realistic" that Sophia, a happily married mother of two teenagers and a school teacher should cheat on her husband by getting so corrupted in just 30 Playable Days. But one you set that as broadly the timeframe for this VN to take place (give or take one week time jump so far and the apparent cancellation of future time jumps), then we have to look at the various scenes as if they are "plausible".

Now I don't want to get into endless arguments as to which scenes are "plausible" (as I and many others can immediately think of at least one recent scene that is not "plausible") but it is still a good choice of word to use to discuss whether or not scenes fit in with the overall one month story arc. Now L&P has certainly strained the boundaries of "plausibility" but for me, with one exception, he has not broken them. So personally I still find the story as engaging as when I first discovered AWAM.

The next day at Dylan's we will have the choice between Sophia and Maria and then between Elli and Sophia. These are likely to be either-or decisions for Dylan. I wonder when Dylan will discover all of his fetishes that KillJoys keeps referring to when Dylan is repeatedly denied the opportunity to do so. I mean that the thought of incest doesn't bother him, he's a voyer and likes older women, we already knew after the second game day.

Edit:
In this context, I remember what Dylan would have to offer his mother at some point besides a big cock. It cannot be a sexual experience. And with all the experience that Sophia has gained then Dylan is simply uninteresting. Aiden would be the far better partner in terms of sexual fantasy. And if there are really swing events or threesomes then Laim would again be the better partner. So if L&P doesn't get faster here in the development of Dylan, the fundamentals of the Dylan / Sophia relationship will remain implausible.
Where do you get that players will need to choose between Sophia and Marie? In the event list for playable day 13, the salon event is an event by itself. The only decision players of the Dylan route need to make is the last event, when players of the bonus storyline need to decide between Ellie and Sophia.

We specifically don't get a choice with Marie. Even those of us not on the Dylan route will get him at the salon event. This is the reason if Dylan does get a threesome, she will be involved.

True, I have no evidence, neither for the final choice Sophia / Marie nor for Sophia / Elli. With Marie I think it can go the same as with Emma. With Elli, the choice of event is already the possible decision. Of course I hope to find another way with Marie, but what should this look like. That Dylan and Sophia realize that they are both interested in the same woman. Then what should they do? I can then imagine a lot of interesting situations, but will L&P go this way?

Alley_Cat , It's speculation, of course, but he based it on the next P.D. break out. I'm not sure if there will be a threesome between Sophia & Marie with Dylan. The only true hint is the car ride from the Yoga event and what Patricia said after the class was over to Dylan, which is the only hint of a threesome right now with Sophia/Patricia and Dylan. But L&P indeed said he doesn't want to create a harem, and he already proved that by stopping Dylan from following Sophia, if you send him to boarding school (Amber) and Sophia hooking him up (Emma). It is most likely that the same option will happen with Marie and Ellie.

Playable Day 13 - Breakout
Morning
1) Literature lesson (Aiden's 4th task) + a bonus scene
2) Don Morello (optional)
Noon
1) 2nd side job 3rd day
2) Dylan/Ellie OR: Dylan comes home from the boarding school for the weekend. What will happen here depends on if the "pool chicken fight" on day 10 took place or not!
3) "Coach Sophia"
Afternoon
1) Sophia/Sam
2) Sophia/Claire/Marie (with Dylan)
Evening
1) Sophia/Dylan
2) Sophia/Dylan OR: Dylan/Ellie OR: Dylan/Emma

A possible situation at the hairdresser event:
The judgment of Paris:

Paris = Dylan
Sophia = Aphrodite
Marie = Athene
Claire = Hera

Best choice: Sophia.
The other two women wouldn't be pissed off if Dylan chooses his mother. Possible end of the Marie Route for Dylan.

Best choice for Dylan: Marie.
The other two women (mothers) would not be very offended and would understand that he chooses Marie. Safe end of the Sophia route for Dylan.

Worst choice: Claire.
Marie would be pissed off because Dylan prefers her mother to her. Possible end of the Sophia Route and safe end of the Marie Route for Dylan.

It's that Marie will pursue Dylan regardless of whether or not you're playing the Dylan route (as long as you play the Yoga event) that leads me to believe she might be an exception.

Does anyone know if Dylan will be at the salon event for those that chose the Alyssa event instead of the Yoga event? Because if you chose the Alyssa event, this will be Dylan's first chance to meet Marie. Which would also be my preference for those that send him to boarding school, instead of him being an idiot and somehow spending his bus money.

Interesting, so may you tell me who is Eris :cool: (joke)

You assume that Sophia will be the chosen one according to judgment of Paris (Dylan).
Sophia (Aphrodite) promised that the most beautiful woman in Greece (San Alejo) would fall in love with him.

So the finality would not be Sophia but 'Helen of Sparta'
>>>>> who is she in the game : Patricia / Amber / Emma / Marie ... ?
But we know that Paris still pulled the ass card.
I chose Sophia = Aphrodite because of the 3rd Aiden event. And Marie = Athene because of her hobby: martial arts.

I don’t know if he only puts 'plausible things', but anyway, he likes to leave clues :geek:

Let’s remember when Liam came back from the casino and lost everything.

What’s Sophia watching on television ? :unsure:

'Orange is the new black'

And the event continues at the prison. :sneaky:

Which is the "Subtle Hint." Some stand out and some don't.
